Erroneous heart play trips up Europe bridge slam
In a European Championship match between Norway and England, South opens 1 and bids 6 clubs after North-South reach a strong heart sequence. The key error is South leading the queen hearts from dummy on the first trick. the correct move would be to play the eight. The eight shifts the endgame, but West led a heart, threatening the contract. The declarer chose the queen finesse, lost to the king, then a spade was lost and the contract went down one.
